Dallas County authorities to be featured on Discovery Channel show ‘Body Cam'
BUFFALO, Mo. — The Buffalo Police Department (BPD) announced on Facebook Friday that they and the Dallas County Sheriff's Office will take part in an episode of the Discovery Channel series Body Cam.
According to BPD, Discovery Channel will be filming the episode in Buffalo and will center around a shootout with Nathanael McElroy from November 2020. McElroy was sentenced to 19 years in prison in 2023 after he pleaded guilty to two counts of assaulting a police officer, among other charges.
Regular police operations will still take place without interruption, BPD says, and filming will be highly coordinated with both the police department and the sheriff's office to ensure the safety of local residents.

'We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we participate in this opportunity to showcase the real-life dedication and sometimes the split-second decisions that go into keeping Buffalo safe,' BPD stated in the Facebook post.
Body Cam debuted in 2018 and is about showing critical situations and quick decisions officers must make through body cam footage, according to Discovery. The show is available to watch on the Discovery Channel and stream on MAX and Discovery+.
